The Indian premiere league has created much of its waves in South Africa. When I first heard that it would be held in SA I was happy by the fact that I would get a chance to watch it but at the same time I had a thought running that it would not work here .But to my surprise it’s a big hit. The stadiums are packed by South Africans and it’s difficult to get the tickets. The first day tickets were sold in just 1 and half hour. Yesterday we some how managed to get the ticket for the t2o match between Rajasthan royals vs. Delhi dare devils at Centurion in Pretoria. The stadium was 75 % packed [considering the fact that it was a working day] with everybody in colors of red and blue supporting the 2 teams. The stadium full of Indian and English music and lightning and cracker all the way. What surprised me was how well South Africans had willing accepted the Indian première league and were taking active participation. South Africans love their sports.
Even though the score set up by Shewags team was quite ordinary 143, Rajasthan royals was struggling all the way until our heroic Yusuf Pathan stepped in and turned the whole match around. His impressive 6 sixes with breath taking. It led Rajasthan Royals to victory.
Thanks to lalit modi for giving all of us a big cricketing event like IPL.
